I have a small stand alone utility program, for convenience and simple 
installation and copying to another PC I install everythinginto the same 
folder (by default not under program files eg C:\AboutTime, and the user 
can choose where)- programs/ INI file/data all in the same folder, as its only 
about 10 small files all up, and nothing installed elsewhere. Under XP this 
works fine as long as the user has rights to create the folder when installing.

Anyone know of any issues with such a scheme under Vista - I understand it 
enforces no data under the Programs folder. Does it enforce no programs 
outside of the programs folder?
John
